Chile: No swimmers!

Laura and I have made some great friends at the hostel this past week. Hanna, from Boston and a senior at Northeastern University and her cousin Kelsea who for the last year has been teaching English in Chile. Definitely people I hope to stay in contact with.

Last week we all went rafting together down the Trancura River here in Pucon. A class 4/5+. It was crazy the rapids that we went through, duking into the raft and holding on for dear life and then popping up and all paddling together as quickly as possible. We were awful at staying together but we made it down the 1.5 hour run with no swimmers. YAY!! Definitely don't need to do another class 4/5+ but it sure was a blast!!
